Friends, frittatas are one of the easiest egg dishes to make! This is my daughter Kristin's basic recipe - I've added my own spin with add-ins. It’s basically a baked omelette that can be changed up every time you make it. Use your fave meats, veggies and cheese and you’ll have a great meal that works for breakfast, lunch or dinner!
Ingredients
- 8 eggs, whisked
- 1 cup heavy organic whipping cream
- 5 slices thick bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces & fried
-
1 cup gruyere cheese with a little bit of Havarti, shredded
- 1-2 tbsps. butter
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes or 1 cup mixed harvest tomatoes
- Fresh basil, chopped
-
Salt & pepper to taste
Ingredients
Directions
Saute the Following
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 "bunch" green onions, diced
- 1 cup yellow or red onions, chopped
2 cups spinach
How To Make It
- Preheat oven to 375
- Fry bacon in a cast iron or heavy duty oven-proof skillet until crispy, remove from pan & drain
- Whisk eggs until light in color and frothy
- In 2-3 tbsps of bacon grease, sauté onions until tender (I also add butter!)
- Gradually whisk in cream, salt & pepper (to taste)
- Continue sautéing mushrooms & spinach
- Add bacon & basil
- Whisk the frothy egg mixture & pour over all the yummies in the skillet
- Top with tomatoes and lightly tap into egg mixture for great color
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until eggs start to “set”
Transfer to preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until eggs aren’t runny in the middle
Serving Ideas
- Serve straight from the skillet or slide onto a serving platter garnished with fresh basil leaves.
- For great taste & color, garnish with sour cream, guacamole or sliced avocados & salsa!

Recipe Note
This one includes bacon, but if you're vegetarian, just omit the bacon, obviously. Steamed broccoli is awesome in a frittata. Also, a potato and asparagus frittata is delicious!. Frittatas are so fun to make because you can add your favorite meats, veggies and cheese. Cheddar, brie and parmesan are great choices. Leeks add a ton of flavor as well as garlic.
